The collection by Michael Swanwick, one of the founders (along with Bruce Sterling and William Gibson) of the cyberpunk literary movement, includes novels that have become classics of modern science fiction. "Vacuum Flowers" is a novel about a man who lost himself, Rebel Elizabeth Mudlark, "the girl who died twice," and humanity, spread throughout the solar system, but never finding a home. The second novel, “The Way of the Tide,” awarded the prestigious Nebula Prize, is based on high technologies of the future, a hard detective story and the phantasmagoric world of Miranda, the planet of death and resurrection.
